Nearly everything I read about this Tivo puts me off. If it had a dynamic programme guide (it is utterly unbelievable to me that it does not) then all this stuff about padding would not matter.

Did I read that you cannot press INFO and instantly find out about a programme as on V+ (though admittedly you often have to do it twice to get the information)? I find this unbelievable too.

Why not start with all the V+ does then add the Tivo business of thumbs up and down for those who find that sort of thing appealing.

I hope VM continue to develop the V+ with a larger hard drive as I am beginning to believe that, for the ordinary customer, they are on a loser with this Tivo which seems old fashioned in so many respects.
INFO (in the TV Guide) will re re-added on the next code release. You press OK instead ATM (as Ben says INFO still works if you want to know about the current programme)

It's a TiVo software build that's being moulded to suit the needs of Virgin Media and it's customers.

V+HD will be phased out at some stage, but no roadmap has been published regarding this.
